He'll tell us what contributes to a wide range of medical issues, how eating lots of fresh home grown fruits & veggies can help in reducing and in some cases, reversing, these medical issues, and why getting your lab work done first is the most important step.

In this episode of The Vegetable Gardening show, Mike chats with therapist Phil Deluca on how healthier eating can lead to better relationships.

Phil is the creator of a new way of mending relationships through his trademark process called UnTalk, combined with couples eating healthy servings of fruits & vegetables.

Organic gardening for over 20 years, Phil noticed that many couple that came in for therapy were not leading healthy lifestyles.  Loaded up on sugars, starches, soft drinks and snacks, Phil decided to combine his therapy sessions with teaching couples to eat healthier.  Doing so has lead to what he calls break throughs in relationships.

Phil will share with us what UnTalk is, various means of communications, how the fruits & vegetables you grow at home play a role in happier days with your partner and how all of this can decrease unhealthy inflammation.

Philip DeLuca, LCSW is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. But he prefers to be called the Un-Talk TM Therapist. (You have heard of Dr. Phil, well he is Dr. Un!).  He is also a psychotherapy disruptor, relationship healer, author, speaker and guinea pig. He is a psychotherapy disruptor because he developed an alternative to conventional relationship counselling that is the opposite of what is conventionally accepted. He is a relationship healer because he heals relationships that “Express Yourself” communication approaches damage.  He is a guinea pig because He has used his own struggles to help develop this approach.  

During a twelve month international speaking tour to promote his first book “The Solo Partner“, he saw firsthand the failure of conventional conflict resolution and became more solidly convinced that a new approach was badly needed.

He turned to the latest body and brain science to upgrade the outdated “Express Yourself” model that was developed in the 60’s, became his  own guinea pig, and eventually, successful case study.  

What he developed was an alternative holistic model that frequently works where conventional couples therapy fail, brings quick results, is easy to understand and implement. He calls it, “Communication for the 21st century.”

His Un-Talk Therapy is the most efficient, least expensive method of ending relationship conflict and making communication fun again –- just ask any of his clients who’ve “tried everything.”

In this episode of the Vegetable Gardening show, Mike chats with Melissa Caughey, the author of the book, "How to Speak Chicken."  Scientific studies out of Australia have found 24 distinct sounds that chickens make that can be interpreted to be chicken speak.  In other words, your chickens are trying to communicate with you.

In her new book, "How to Speak Chicken", award winning author, Melissa Caughey breaks down the science of these many sounds so that you too can hear what your chickens are trying to tell you.

In this interview she is going to go through how she put her book together, what was her motivation behind writing it, and go through the various ways your chickens communicate with you.

From there Melissa will talk about how keeping chickens at home has gone from a rare sight to a national movement, and the things you should know before you take the plunge into chicken keeping, if you haven't done so already.

I come from a career in medicine, a nurse practitioner in fact.

I never in a million years thought that keeping a flock of chickens would be in my future. Well, almost 7 years ago, a peeping package of six little fuzz balls arrived at our door step and I have not once looked back. I have always thought of my home as a nest for my family, a place filled with love and nurturing where new life, ideas, creativity, and relationships emerge. Over the years, this nest has become quite a place.

The chickens were the gateway to expanding our vegetable gardening efforts. They unlocked a passion for the locavore movement. They made me want to cook and serve their eggs and grow our own organic produce.  They connected us with the earth and our natural surroundings. I started beekeeping and became a Master Gardener.

I have lots going on here at Tilly’s Nest and you certainly might find me in some other places on the internet such as HGTV, DIY Network, Community Chickens, Grit Magazine and Country Living Magazine. I also served as the technical editor for Gardening with Free Range Chickens for Dummies. Over the years, I’ve won some wonderful awards, have met amazing people, and been on an incredible journey of growth. I’ve even written a best selling award winning book, A Kid’s Guide to Keeping Chickens. My next book, How to Speak Chicken, will be available Fall 2017.

I’ve lived in many places, but Cape Cod, Massachusetts is where I call home. I live near the sea in a quaint historical New England village with my two children, husband and a Miniature Schnauzer named Sara. Winters are cold and summers are hot and if you are not careful enough to lock your car in the summer you might just end up with a seat full of fresh veggies from the generosity of a stranger.
